"As an organization we are committed to having a full stadium for every game to give us a competitive advantage," said Katie Blackburn, Bengals executive vice-president. "We are coming off a good year, we have been to the playoffs two years in a row, and we have five 2012 playoff teams coming to Cincinnati this season. We believe that our 2013 pricing model, in conjunction with the strong home schedule, will be very attractive to fans and will make tickets available at the right prices to help us to reach that goal."

Prices will go down for 20 sections, with some sections that cost $50 per game last season dropping to $40 and many sections that cost $60 last season dropping to $50.

"When we reduced some sections to $40 for 2012, the demand was high and they sold out quickly," said Bengals ticket manager Andrew Brown. "Our fans saw it as a great value for an NFL game, and we will expand the number of those seats. We also think fans will respond very positively to some new opportunities for this year, including seats as low as $50 in the first rows of the upper deck. If you've been in those seats before for any stadium event, you know what a great vantage point that is."

Sideline seats in the lower bowl will increase from $80 to $85 for the first ticket price increase in four years, the Bengals said.

"These are the most sought-after seats in the house, and our analysis of the market shows heightened demand for this area, justifying this first price increase since 2009," Brown said.

The price for the remaining reserve seats, which are about 45 percent of all seating, won't change.

According to ESPN.com, the Bengals ranked 24th in the 32-team NFL for home attendance during the 2012 season.

The site reported that the team drew a total of 489,504 fans to Paul Brown Stadium for an average of 61,188 per game, for 93.4 capacity.

The Bengals will host five 2012 playoff teams next season, with visits from Baltimore, Green Bay, Indianapolis, Minnesota and New England.

The New York Jets, Cleveland and Pittsburgh are the remaining visitors for 2013.

Tickets go on sale Wednesday at 9 a.m. through the team's ticket hotline, 513-621-TDTD, or online at Bengals.com.
